Tuomo Kauranne Professor University Of Lappeenranta, Lappeenranta, Finland Why I write: I write because I believe in the promise of America—not just as a nation, but as an idea: that no matter how hard the road, no matter how impossible the odds, we can build a better world through courage, sacrifice, and an unrelenting will to serve others. My experiences are proof of that promise. From the battlefields where I learned the true meaning of selfless service, to the jungles where I fought to reclaim justice for my family, to the courtroom and beyond—I've dedicated my life to standing up for those who can't stand for themselves. Even if you don't know it, I've fought for you—and for a generous America that lifts up those who embody quiet courage, resilience, and hope; souls who fight their own battles every day—in small towns across this great nation—living the very promise our ancestors knew we could achieve. Through the  Alacrity and Dispatch  series, I share stories of resilience, ingenuity, and hope. These books aren't just accounts of what I've done—they're testaments to the belief that one person, armed with truth and purpose, can gather teams of like minds toward a common good and deliver extraordinary change. They remind us that the American Dream isn't just something you chase; it's something you fight for, no matter the cost. I write to inspire you—to prove that no obstacle is insurmountable, no injustice unshakable, and no dream beyond reach. I write to remind you that American patriotism isn
